(12 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris):
It is so loose, maybe we play a little bit with the car and upset the balance a little bit so we'll talk to the engineer but it is a tough stage for sure.

(10 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel):
It is difficult, the stage is difficult. I have a feeling I wasn't fast but the time seems not too bad. I struggled with the car, I cannot drive like I did in Mexico, but it is better than it was in the morning.

(2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel):
It's ok, first pass with new notes it was very tricky in there. Clean run through.

(3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko):
I'm struggling to keep the car on the clean line, and struggling to carry the speed through the corners. When I try to be careful and keep the car on the line and I'm losing a lot of time.

(11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott):
Not so great, had a fairly big spin down through a compression which should have been okay. But the car spun and I had to back down the road a bit to turn around so that cost 10-15 seconds. The car wouldn't restart after the spin intially as well.

(6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos):
I didn't enjoy this stage, there was not a lot of grip. Zero grip in the rear, we don't have it at all.

(4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders):
We did some changes to the car so I could have a little more control over the rear which helped. It is a new stage but I felt really comfortable. It is a good time but I expect people will go quicker.

(7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka):
I don't want to know, I am so angry now. We could have won this rally now if it wasn't for this puncture.

(9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne):
It is good to go to the service so at least we can do something. We'll change the brake pads and maybe something else.

(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin):
It's been a good run. This one is such like a track, not a road. It is extremely slippy in places, I was quite steady but still a clean run. Seb and Thierry are earlier on the road so cleaning effect has an impact.

(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien):
The first stage I was not really sharp, I could have been a little bit faster. I'm pushing as hard as I can, but I'm struggling for grip - I can't match Ott that's for sure! I feel I've made the right choice with the tyres.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I tried to push but in this conditions - being first on the road - it is not easy. I had a spin as well and had to reverse.
